Q153 / 170 · Manipal (MET) 2018 · Physics

- A semiconductor has an electron concentration of $8 \times 10^{13} / \mathrm{m}^3$ and hole concentration of $5.5 \times 10^{12} / \mathrm{m}^3$. The semiconductor is

Correct answer
A
n-type
B
intrinsic semiconductor
C
p-type
D
p-n junction

Solution

Electron concentration is greater than hole concentration in $n$-type semiconductor.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
